Sip in cordial glasses or dribble over vanilla ice cream. Probably my easiest liqueur recipe and very good. Since it's made with DRIED apricots, it can be made year-round. Years ago I gave this a couple times in a monogrammed pocket flask as a 21st birthday present. Cooking time is actually infusion time (at 5-7 days, it's a relatively short time for a fruit-flavored liqueur).
Ingredients:
8 ounces dried apricots
2/3 cup superfine sugar
2 cups vodka
Directions:
1. Place apricots and sugar in a screw-top jar.
2. Add vodka, screw cover on tightly and shake to dissolve the sugar.
3. Leave for 5-7 days, inverting the jar daily (test the taste after 5 days and infuse 2 more if you want a stronger flavor).
4. Strain liqueur into a decanter through a fine sieve and store in refrigerator.
5. Apricots may be saved, chopped and used as a topping on ice cream.
